Shameless plug on the wippens. If you're not switching heels =
or
<BR>turbo-izing, consider having them rebuilt. In a lot of cases, the weig=
ht
<BR>and geometry of the original is good, and we completely rebuild a whol=
e
set <BR>for about 400 bucks. Sandblasted, all new bushing felts, heel clot=
h,
<BR>springs, buttons, etc., etc. Like I said, shameless
plug.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
